Try using a electromagnetic current on the water you're trying to manipulate. Think of yourself as the moon, using it's magnetic field in pulling and pushing the water. Or you can meditate and then try to merge your psi with the water or try doing a direct approach were you put your fingers in the water and focus on the water sticking to your magnetic field and then pull your fingers out of the bowl and see if you can keep a line of water from one or each finger and then make the rest of the water come to you from the bowl. But that might be advanced.
